HSB 142: Prohibiting community colleges offering a curriculum in barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences if a licensed school of barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences operates in the same merged area

What it does

This bill prohibits a community college from offering a curriculum, and the director of the department of education from approving a community college curriculum, in barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences if a postsecondary educational institution licensed by the state to operate as a school of barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences is operating in the merged area on the effective date of the bill, so long as the institution continues to operate in the merged area. The bill provides that if a community college would otherwise be required to discontinue a program under the bill, the community college shall continue the program until all students enrolled in the program on or before the effective date of the bill have completed or left the program.
